The WW2 US Army Garrison Cap, Tan, Size 7, is an original uniform component issued to United States Army personnel during the Second World War. The garrison cap, also referred to as a “side cap” or “overseas cap,” served as a standard piece of dress for soldiers when wearing the service uniform. Made from khaki-colored fabric, this cap features a foldable, flat design that allowed for easy storage in pockets when not in use. The tan color designated wear by Army personnel in warmer climates or with the summer service uniform. Size 7 corresponds to a head circumference of approximately 22 inches (56 cm). The cap typically incorporates reinforced stitching and may include provisions for distinctive branch piping or insignia, depending on unit assignment. This example is representative of the period and provides historical insight into standard US Army headgear during World War II.
